A Systematic Review of the Anxiolytic-Like Effects of Essential Oils in Animal Models
TLDR
A systematic review of essential oils, their bioactive constituents, and anxiolytic-like activity is conducted, finding that Lavendula angustifolia is the essential oil with the best profile, which has already been tested in controlled clinical trials with positive results.
Study the Anti-Anxiety Effect of Acute Injection of Lavandula Angustifolia Extract in Elevated Plus-Maze Test in Male Rat *
TLDR
The results showed that compared to the control group, LA (50, 100 mg/kg) increased the percentage of entries in open arms and time spent in open Arms and the locomotor activity was not significantly changed by LA, which appears to be an anxiolytic influence effect.

TLDR
The association of EOs with diazepam significantly potentiated their effects, suggesting a similar mechanism of action and indicating that citral, beta-myrcene, and limonene are probably the EOs active compounds.

TLDR
In the rabbit conjunctival reflex test treatment with a solution of essential oil of L. angustifolia, as well as linalyl acetate and linalol allow a dose-dependent increase in the number of stimuli necessary to provoke the reflex, thus confirming in vivo the local anaesthetic activity observed in vitro.
